Pristine Signed Set of Cormoran Strike 1-7 Books
Signed by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling), First Editions, First Printings, with Provenance
In this pristine 1-7 set we have the following books: The Cuckoo’s Calling, The Silkworm, Career of Evil, Lethal White, Troubled Blood, The Ink Black Heart and The Running Grave. All books are in outstanding, unread condition without any internal marks or ownership inscriptions and near perfect dust jackets. All are signed as Robert Galbraith by J.K. Rowling and books that are supposed to have the hologram, do so.
Cuckoo’s Calling, published by Sphere in 2013 is the first book in the series and was published without it being known that Robert Galbraith was actually the pseudonym for J.K. Rowling. The book has J.K. Rowling’s hologram attached adjacent to the title page which is signed in thick black sharpie by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling). The book comes with the original event ticket from the ‘Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival’ in Harrogate on Friday 18th July 2014 where it was signed.
The Silkworm and Career of Evil are the second and third books to be published by Sphere in 2014 and 2015 respectively. Both books and dust jackets are in pristine condition, without any flaws. The Silkworm has the J.K. Rowling hologram adjacent to the signature, whilst Career of Evil does not. This is because most copies of Career of Evil signed for bookstores at that time did not have the holograms attached.
Lethal White was the fourth book to be published by Sphere in 2018. A pristine copy with the hologram present and a note included written in 2022 from the original purchaser Ellen that details how she won the signed book in a competition at Robinson’ Bookshop in Melbourne (see photo).
Troubled Blood is the fifth book in the series to be published by Sphere in 2020. This along with the Cuckoos Calling are the two most valuable books in the overall set. A fine copy, with hologram again attached to the adjacent page to the signature.
The Ink Black Heart and The Running Grave are the sixth and seventh books to be published by Sphere in 2022 and 2023 respectively. Both stunning copies with a ‘signed by the author’ sticker present to the front of the dust jacket of The Ink Black Heart. Both copies come with the important hologram attached to the adjacent page to the signature.
A unique collection of all seven books in superb condition.
